Actress Chioma Ifemeludkie has tackled former presidential aide Reno Omokri for questioning why Chidinma Ojukwu, the suspected Super TV CEO Usifo Atag’s killer was allowed to participate in a beauty pageant while on trial.
The self-acclaimed motivational speaker expressed his disappointment in an Instagram post on Thursday.
According to him, “Prison is a place of punishment and rehabilitation. Once it becomes a place of fun, then the whole purpose is defeated. How would the family of Usifo Ataga feel to see Chidinma prancing about as a beauty queen in prison? That is unacceptable. Heads should roll! And if heads don’t roll, the question we must ask is whether Chidinma has a prison official zaddy who she is making very happy. Because the state of her hair, skin, the clothes she wore and her shoes are better than 99% of females that are free in the world outside prison!
“And the media should stop calling her an ‘alleged killer’. She admitted killing Usifo Ataga on camera. Once there is an admission, the charge is no longer alleged. It is proven. What is in doubt are the circumstances. Did she do it while under the influence of fear, or drugs, or something else which we do not as yet know? But that she did it is fact, not allegation.”
Reacting in the comment section of a blog post, Chioma stated that it was shameful that such a statement was coming from a former presidential aide who lives abroad. She also noted that the accused remains innocent until proven guilty.
She wrote: “Such a statement coming from a supposed educated, former presidential aide that lives abroad. What a shame. 1) She has not been convicted. 2) Even if she is convicted, It’s a correctional facility.”
